Yrellag Gallery is pleased to present “One Place After”, a solo exhibition by Polly Lo. Places being depicted are extracted from representations of the real world, infused with style, reminiscence, and thoughts, reflecting from its colours, brushstrokes, and composition. Through artist reinterpretation of her innermost images, ideas, emotions and memories of these places, paintings are imbued with vividness and new meaning.

Lo found her inspiration from the stairs she always walks by on the way to her studio. In art and photography, the staircase can evoke a sense of intrigue, leading the viewer to question what lies beyond or above. As an element embedded in her paintings, she regards it as a symbol of movement, transformation, and mystery, which echoes with the location of the gallery, resting by the side of the continual staircase spreading around the midlevels.

Opening reception: Saturday, 14 December 2024 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m

Gallery address: 13A Prince’s Terrace, Central
